Tech Grant
The Foundation
has budgeted $10,000 for Tech Grants each year.
The grant
must be used for programs and projects which enhance or supplement
the educational opportunities for all learners in the PBL Community
Unit #10 School District.
Selection Criteria
Proposals must address the school district's priorities, as
identified by the superintendent, building principals,
or school improvement team(s). Priorities are:
-
Student achievement, language arts, math, social science,
science, fine arts, health/P.E.
-
Innovation in the use of technology as a teaching tool
-
Professional development
-
Community partnership
-
Interdisciplinary approach/number of students impacted by the
grant
The Foundation is looking for
grant applicants
who are leading their colleagues into the future in terms of the
tools they use in their teaching. The Foundation reserves the right
to determine the number of grants awarded and the amount of each
grant. If the trustees
feel that a proposal has exceptional merit, they may award the
entire $10,000 to one applicant.
